And then there's this
HOW TO WASH THE CAT
Thoroughly clean the toilet.
Add the required amount
of shampoo to the toilet water,
and have both lids lifted.
Obtain the cat and soothe him
while you carry him towards
the bathroom.
In one smooth movement,
put the cat in the toilet<FONT COLOR="#000000" B
and close both lids
(you may need to stand on
the lid so that he cannot escape).
Flush the toilet three or four times.
Have someone open the door
to the outside and ensure
that there are no people
between the toilet and the
outside door.
Stand behind the toilet as far
as you can, and quickly lift both lids.
The now-clean cat will rocket out of the toilet, and run outside where he
will dry himself.
Sincerely, The DOG
